Another Reason Who is Elected President Matters

With today's refusal by the Supreme Court to hear the ACLU's challenge to the President's warrantless wiretapping program, we are again reminded why it matters what kind of person we elect to the Presidency - where Supreme Court judicial nominations, as well as this particular intrusion into our rights, have originated. We'd better take a long, hard look at where the candidates stand on matters if civil rights - and I'm not talking just words here. We're dangerously close to irreversable damage to our civil rights already. One of the first questions I'll be asking when I vote in November is which candidate has the best record of respecting the Constitution and the American people.
